Dashed outline in Excel workbook gallery

I have a file saved on my mac which seems to have disappeared. The only place I can find it is in "open recent" where it (and some others) appear as a dashed line box. When I double click I am told that the file could not be found and to make sure it hasn't been moved or deleted. I definitely did not delete it. I have used finder and spotlight with no success. Help please!

Where did you save it, what was the location?

Collaborate on Excel workbooks with Sharepoint Foundation

My company recently implemented SharePoint Foundation 2013 and our shared Excel workbooks are no longer allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. We have verified that all the settings and permissions are correct and that checking in and
checking out is not required. Is this something that is not available with SharePoint Foundation? We are using Office 2013 installed on the clients, not Office online. Thank you.

Co-authoring of Excel workbooks is only supported when all the editors are using the Excel web application, not the Excel client application.
From
Microsoft's overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013:
>"Co-authoring is easy to use from the end user’s point of view. When a user wants to work on a document in Word 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Visio 2013 or one of the Office Web Apps, he or she merely opens it from SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint
Online, as usual. If another user already has the document open, both users can edit the document at the same time.
One exception to this is that users can co-author in Excel Web App only if everyone uses the Excel Web App to access the workbook. If anyone uses Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 (the client application)
to access the workbook, co-authoring in Excel Web App will be disabled for that workbook while it is open in the client application."
>"The Excel 2013 client application does not support co-authoring workbooks in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. But, the Excel client application uses the Shared Workbook feature to support non-real-time co-authoring workbooks that are stored
locally or on network (UNC) paths."

Excel Workbook with Excel Data Model stored on SharePoint - daily refresh

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum but I'm hoping that someone here can either answer or point me in the right direction.
I have an Excel Workbook with an Excel Data Model.
The Excel Data Model uses SQL to contact our data warehouse and pull through data into tables.
We are storing the Workbook on a SharePoint site and viewing it using Excel Services.
The data in our data warehouse is updated daily and so I would like to refresh the workbook daily and remove the option to refresh the data in the browser.
Is this possible with a workbook that has an Excel Data Model (I've seen lots of posts that relate to workbooks with connections to tabular models).
Thanks
Paul

Visual Studio Community Edition - Error on creating ribbon for Excel Workbook project

Hi. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now so I hope someone can help me.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. On installation there was no option to include VSTO and, looking on various forums, I found it was necessary to install the VSTO - November 2014 update separately, which I have done. I'm working on a
brand new virtual server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and no other versions of Visual Studio have been installed (although I'm surprised to see Visual Studio 2012 as an item in All Programs - but it just contains command prompts).
I have created an Excel Workbook project. When I go to create a new item - Ribbon (Designer) - I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.Implementation, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've searched the Internet for anyone who might have had this same issue but have been unable to find anything to help me. I've tried uninstalling the VSTO-November Update and VS 2013 CE and reinstalling both but still the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
David.

Hello David,
What Office version do you have installed on the problematic machine?
Do you run Visual Studio as an administrator?

Power Pivot enable Excel workbook protection with password?

Hi All
We have a power pivot deployment without SharePoint in excel 2013 professional plus. All woks fine until we use a password to protect excel workbook so unauthorised users cannot open it. After enabling password protection we cannot access the power pivot
data model under power pivot excel tab. It tries to upgrade the power pivot model(which is not logical because it didn't do it before and was working fine). thereafter upgrade fails.
Has anyone successfully password protected a power pivot excel 2013 workbook? Is there a workaround to enabling security without SharePoint/office 365 etc?
Thanks
Sonny

Hi Sonny,
PowerPivot does not support row security or dynamic security. Security for a workbook is just a binary choice – either a user can read a workbook or she can’t.
In this case, I would suggest you consider designing Tabular model which can be secured using row security and dynamic security is also supported. For more information, please see:

OData Feed Link Format for an Excel Workbook Stored in SharePoint

I've heard it is possible to use an OData Feed Link to get data from an Excel Workbook that is stored on SharePoint 2013 online. Does anyone know the format for the link? I've been searching high and low and cannot get any specific format that works. Thanks!

I received this from someone on our team:
In PQ, click From File -> From Excel.
In the file dialog that appears, paste in your site url (e.g. https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams/myteam).
The file dialog will display the files stored in your sharepoint site. Navigate until you reach the desired excel file.
Select it and click done.
On the credential prompt, use Organizational.
Let me know if it works for you.

How scheduling the data refresh for a published Excel workbook - SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I've implemented an Excel workbook that connects to a SSAS Tabular data source and I've published it on SharePoint.
Now, how can I implement a scheduled data refresh if it is possible?
Thanks

Hi pscorca,
If my understanding is correct , you want to implement a scheduled data refresh on SharePoint 2013 and the data is from a SSAS Tabular data source.
Below are some articles for you to take a look:

Refresh Data in an Excel Workbook from another Excel file

I have an Excel file that I need to use as a data source for a report that is generated from another Excel Workbook that I am using PowerPivot and PowerPivot with.
I make the connections and everything works fine, but the schedule to refresh doesn't work. I found the below, and another Excel file isn't listed as a data source that is can automatically refresh from. Doesn't that seem like an obvious miss?
Report data in an Excel workbook can come from many external data sources. You can schedule automatic data refreshes for these external sources:
•Power BI Cloud Service
*       Microsoft Azure SQL Database
*       SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
*       OData
*       Basic authentication
*       Anonymous authentication
*       SP Lists
*       ProjectOnline feeds
•On-premises
*       SQL Server 2005 and above
*       Oracle 10g, 11g and 11gR2
A workbook accesses external data through an embedded connection string or URL you specify when you import the original data into the workbook. Data refresh reuses the original connection information stored in the workbook.
A workbook can have only one data refresh schedule. Typically, if you create the workbook you define the schedule.

It seems apart from mentioned sources no other source is supported, even I tried refreshing model having excel as source.

Refresh Data feed error in Excel Workbook

Hi
I am getting the error
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used The payload kind 'BinaryValue' of the given data
feed is not supported.. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID ...
The excel workbook was earlier configured using the data feed which was not stored in a data feed library. I then created the data feed library, placed the data feed in it and edited the connection
to the new path.
I am getting the above error now. Please help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you configured the workbook to use the data feed in a data feed library.
Did this issue occur with all the Excel workbooks which use the data feeds in the data feed library?
I recommend to create a new workbook to use the data feeds in the data feed library following the steps in the link below to see if the issue still occurs:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg413490.aspx#importdata
Please also check if the data feed is created correctly referring to the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210624.aspx
If still no help, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in our SQL server forum.

Data refresh in background for an Excel workbook published on a SharePoint 2013 site

Hi,
I've created a site to publish some Excel workbooks on a SharePoint 2013 farm with Excel Services.
I'd like to run in background the data refresh against the cube connected to Excel, so when the end user will open the workbook he already will see the updated data without any waiting times.
How can I solve this issue, please?
Keep attention: I don't talk about PowerPivot for SharePoint.
Thanks

did you try to use the
unattended service account for authentication to external data, in order to refresh the excel data?

Error 97 when opening existing Excel workbook

I have a LabVIEW application that reads environmental data from two transmitters and writes the data to two sheets of an Excel workbook (this is done using ActiveX). I have run the application successfully on my computer and a laptop, both of which are running Windows XP and Office 2003. After installing the application on the computer that we want to use for the actual test, however, a problem was observed. If we attempt to open an existing Excel file (which is what we need to do), LabVIEW generates an error 97 message (null reference) and the program does not run. This computer is running Excel 2000. I checked the registry settings for Excel per a similar discussion and found no problems. Opening a new Excel file works fine. Thanks.

Hello,
A few things come to mind:
1. I wonder if the excel version matters here. Could it be that you have a different version of the activeX control on your target machine?
2. Posting a minimal, simplified version of your code may help as well... so we can see precisely where the error occurs. Maybe just the open operation and if relevant the ActiveX property node from which you are receiving the error - identifying precisely where the error originates will be helpful.
3. Here is another thread addressing the same error that may be helpful to you:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=172065
Give it a thorough read just to make sure you're not having a similar issue - if you are, you just may have the solution!
I hope this helps!

How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf?

How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf? I have the box in the preferences for converting excel files marked to convert the entire workbook. I am using Abobe Acrobat 11 Statndard. This previously worked fine when I was using Adboe Acrobat 10 Statndard. Now in order to convert the entire workbook I have to open the excel file, Highlight all the workbook tabs and then save the file. Any ideas?

In Acrobat click Edit | Preferences | Convert to PDF: select Microsoft Office Excel, then click on Edit Settings. Make sure that 'Convert entire Excel workbook' is checked.
